Useful Tips When Teaching

• Remember to have a marker in your pencil case- you don’t know whether you are going to cover for a relief class in 1A or 3A.
• Say yes instead of nodding when answering a close ended question.
• Do everything at home before school the canteen and the toilet are far from my table, be prepared for first period relief class.
• Walk slowly into the teacher’s room, the floor is slippery.
• Find Mr Sham for relief classes before he finds you.
• Check your classes locations, 3A is not beside 3B even though it is alphabetically.
• Duster movement is up-down-up, instead of left-right, you don’t want them to see things swaying.
• Talk to them, not to the blackboard avoid chalk and talk.
• Carry a camera during activities, a picture is worth a thousand word essay.
• Look around for dust particles or cobwebs when you enter a class, talk about cleanliness.
• Always stand when teaching. Stand in the middle, between the blackboard and the first row students.
• Instruct them to ask us questions, such as ‘Ask me three questions” instead of asking them “Any questions?”
• Walk into a class and stand in the middle, get the greetings and then put your things on the table.
